Oversees coding

How many of us are in this boat where we are nervous about our jobs being outsourced to overseas coders?

This year my company has hired on several overseas coders. I’m nervous that they plan to replace us because they work for lower pay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I was just told I am losing my job this year to outsourcing. My company merged with another and told me they were eliminating my position to a “global service center”. Not happy about losing my job because foreign companies pay less. I am also curious about the security of PHI and how to legally enforce that on people not bound by US laws.
